From an original painting, ‘Earth-walking’ by Sue Vincent.
***
The first key is bigger than me
and inside is a box
identical but smaller
in order to fit
with another key…
*
Key number two is as big as you
whose mote is my beam
now clearly seen as I click the lock
and find inside another box
identical but smaller…
*
Key number three but
what will we see as we flick the lock
and peer inside the box?
A heart
blood-red and still beating…
*
The ground starts to shake with footfalls
much bigger than me
and a large eye appears
at the church window.
*
‘Fee… Fie… Foh… Fum…’
says the Giant.
